Love Lock
Ever seen those chain link fences where lovers put their names on locks, secure them to the fence and throw away the key, all along professing their love FOREVER? There's one here on Commercial Street. Elenka, from time to time, has said she'd like to treat one of our padlocks in this manner. Me? Hey, we've survived 39 years together. Why mess with that, I say. Secret? Are we alike? You betcha, in endless ways. Are we different from each other? Do opposites attract? Correct again. Just look at what we're watching on the tube these days. She settles for Breaking Bad, Grimm, Revenge, Johnny Depp, The Walking Dead, Days of Our Lives and on and on... I'll kick back with a good NHL game, Heidi, Mad Men, The Housewives of NYC, Project Runway, Bar Rescue and some old black and white movies.
Thirty-nine years and counting, you say?
Really?
Lock me up!
my husband got me into breaking bad. the only housewives i watch is the oc! i like this rusty old lock
ReplyDelete:) a sweet love story if there ever was one.
ReplyDeleteYour love is obviously locked together and is probably shining rather than rusting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 39 years! I saw those locks on my last visit & thought it sweet. (had seen them before in Paris where they seem to be a matter of controversy these days because of the quantity.)
ReplyDeleteYou two are obviously doing something right!
ReplyDeleteThose thirty-nine years rush past in a great hurry. I'm coming up on our 50th. Doesn't seem possible. We've never put a lock on a bridge and thrown the key away, but I've seen bridges covered with locks. Love your lock photo.
ReplyDeleteA begining love needs a lock closed on promises. A mature love knows to open locks again..
ReplyDeleteLove your lock pic! ;-)
ReplyDeleteBreaking Bad was a great show. Johnny Depp is a god actor. We have a few places in Stockholm with love locks.
ReplyDeleteI think you've got the right idea. A lock on the fence does not a marriage lock. There are other things such as loving someone even though there are differences in opinion and culture!
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen one of those lock-fences; think it's amusing. . . Hope you and Elenka stay locked together another 39 years. . .
ReplyDeleteNo love locks in smalltownland. Sounds like you and Elenka have the right idea about tv viewing. To each his own....
ReplyDeleteIt's done on bridges here... regardless of what the effect on the bridge might be.
ReplyDeleteNice post.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 39 yrs, sounds like you have things worked out pretty good :)
ReplyDeleteSeparate televisions might be the secret. Go, Bruins!
ReplyDeleteIncredible it is still there, looks very old.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
